Sink Repair for Boghead homes
Our repair technicians come to Boghead for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair at your home in Boghead
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Boghead

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Your questions about sink repair in Boghead
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Boghead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boghead and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
